UG 486-1 11/22/2023 12:31:56 AM 11/21/2023 10:04:20 AM General Comment Email feckerfam4@gmail.com Hello, Natural Gas has decreased 61% since 11/22/2022, though the recent residential charges per unit only decreased by 9.85% ($1.43 to $1.29; effective 11/1/23). With the inflationary pressures as they are, relief from utilities that have the capability to provide assistance to consumers should do so. While a 9.8% decrease is nice, it would be helpful to pass more of the reduction in the commodity price to users. I don't need a response, but any support the commission can provide for consumers to drive the prices even lower will help out many Portlanders. Brad

Hello. My name is kamil. The increase in living costs has been erratic and unpredictable and on top of that OPUC approves an 18% increase in utility bill, where my wage increases from $22.00 to $22.25 (1.13% increase). How can I cover 18% increase with 1.13 increase in wage. The only way to survive is to live with roommates. Please reconsider this huge increase in Utility bills.
